O God of all that is beautiful and precious,
So often we run through each day, meeting to meeting, filling every minute with one commitment or another, with barely a second to catch our breath, and enjoy the moment.
Reflecting on his work, the great pianist Artur Schnabel once said "The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes — ah, that is where the art resides.”
The same is true in life, the difference between a good life and a meaningful life is remembering that the great moments often happen in the pause between the notes, in those moments of quiet or reflection, when we savor the moment instead of rushing through it.
Help us O God, to be able to be present and enjoy each blessing as it comes our way. The blessing of work. The blessing of friendship. The blessing of family. The blessing of life itself.
May this be God`s will--Amen
